I am an architect in Knoxville and unfortunately not a home owner. We need more housing. The lack of housing has caused the price of homes and rent to be inflated, hurting anyone who doesn't own property. More supply will reduce demand and make the cost of living less daunting. The design seems attractive and appropriately dense. These look to be able to provide a friendly home for many people. My only concern is that this area could benefit from a grocery store or at least a local convenience store. 100% residential isn't ideal for a community.
Knoxville is a beautiful city with huge potential, we have got to get in front of the curve and adapt before we become late adopters of mixed zoning housing and businesses. A great step forward is more dense residential like this.
